Iraq's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially announced the end of the international coalition's mission against ISIS, simultaneously marking a milestone in the security history of the country. This development indicates the complete transfer of responsibility to domestic forces and the beginning of a new chapter in Iraq's political and military history. With this action, Baghdad seeks to strengthen its sovereignty and independence in the security arena.
End of Mission and New Responsibilities
The mission of the international coalition against ISIS, which was formed to counter terrorist threats in Iraq and Syria, has officially concluded. This coalition had assisted Iraq in overcoming the threats posed by ISIS and establishing security in the country. However, with the end of this mission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iraq has announced that Baghdad, as the host country, will assume full responsibility for its own security and stability.

Security and Political Implications
This change not only means an increase in the responsibilities of Iraqi forces but may also impact the political and social processes in the country. With the transfer of security responsibilities to domestic forces, we are likely to witness an increase in nationalism and a desire for independence among the people of Iraq. Additionally, this issue could benefit internal stability and economic growth in the country.
At the same time, this transformation also brings concerns. Some analysts believe that with the end of the coalition's mission, new threats from terrorist groups may emerge. Therefore, Baghdad must closely monitor the security situation and implement appropriate plans to prevent any new threats.
On the other hand, the end of the international coalition's mission may signify a reduction in international cooperation in the field of security. This issue could affect Iraq's relations with other countries in the region and the world, and Baghdad must act carefully in this regard.
Nevertheless, with the announcement of this news, Iraq's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has emphasized its determination to establish stability and security and has called on the international community to continue supporting Iraq. This support could include economic, cultural, and humanitarian cooperation that will help strengthen Iraq's infrastructure.
